Seeing how fortunate you are isn’t about how much you have or what you have achieved, it isn’t about your house or your car or your status, it’s about accepting where you are in life and appreciating the value of experience your life has given you. Seeing fortunate your life is, is being able to accept and appreciate wherever you are, whatever is going on and whatever you are able to do. Seeing how fortunate you are to you have the time, seeing how fortunate you to be experiencing what you are experiencing, seeing how fortunate you are to live the life you are living, the life you are actively participating in creating, will help you feel grateful, you are indeed very fortunate.
Seeing how fortunate you are is a perspective, an attitude, an approach to living a happy life within whatever shows up in your life, seeing the value in within whatever is happening in your life, seeing the value in what you’ve done with your life and seeing the value in what you are doing with your life will help you see the value in who you are. Feeling grateful you are who you are, being able to be happy with the person you are, being happy with the life you have lived, being happy with how your life is evolving and being happy with how you are evolving, will help you feel fortunate.
There is something to be said for contentment…
There is something to be said for contentment, for allowing yourself to feel content with the way things are, allowing yourself to appreciate all you have in your life in this moment. You are still evolving and your life is too, there will always be things you can improve on, plans to be made, changes to navigate you way through, wishes and wants but there is also always time to value and appreciate where you are at. When you take time to take a breath, to stand back, to watch, to listen, to stop and smell the roses, it brings you a sense of peace, the quiet moments when your mind goes silent and you allow yourself to just be where you are. This is where you can see purpose in what you are doing, this is where you can feel most inspired by what you are creating, these moments help you believe in yourself. When you feel fortunate to be where you are, you recognise why you do what you do, and this gives you the confidence to continue creating and exploring what it is to be you.
There is always something to be grateful for, no matter what is going on in life, even if you are struggling and finding life difficult, there is always something to feel blessed about. You can be grateful for the little things in life, like the sun shining after a week of rain, or children laughing again after being at odds with each other all day, or the traffic flowing so you get to where you are going on time. You can be grateful that you had a good nights sleep, that you are refreshed and feel today is a better day. You can be grateful for the mornings peace and quiet while the rest of the house is still blissfully sleeping, you can be grateful you have enough hot water so you enjoy your shower, you can be grateful you haven’t run out of milk and you don’t need to nip down the shops. There is always something to feel blessed about for even when life seems unfair, unjust or unrewarding, being fortunate is a perspective, an attitude, a way to live your life that will bring you some joy even in the toughest of times.
Appreciating how blessed you are promotes happiness within you, you experience a sense of freedom and be reminded of the joy of living, the moments when you feel most alive. Even in those moments when you get caught up in the drama of living, when you lose touch with what matters and forget your truth, reminding yourself of what makes you happy, of when you felt happiest, will help you come back to yourself. Seeing how fortunate you are in the life you are living and finding joy in what you are doing with your life, will help you remember the magic that is you, will help you remember you aren’t simply existing in life, you are interacting in it, this is what it is to be you.
Everything you do makes a difference, everything you don’t do makes a difference too…
Seeing how fortunate you are to have lived the life you have lived will help you feel happier about the life you are living, being grateful for the life you live now will help you feel happier about the life you are creating. This is your life, it is the life you choose to live, what you do with it and how you live it, is up to you, everything you do makes a difference, everything you don’t do makes a difference, everything you want to do makes a difference, everything you don’t want to do makes a difference, you are valuable and we need you.
Appreciating your value and your worth, acknowledging you are needed because only you can be you, only you can do what you do the way you do it, will give you the confidence to continue creating and exploring what it is to be you. Seeing the value in your life, in the life you are living, knowing there is magic in your life, will help you see the magic is you. You are who you believe yourself to be, you are exactly who you are meant to be, this is the life you are meant to live, this is the life you and you make it fortunate. Believing in what you are doing gives you purpose and your purpose is to create a life you are happy living because you do make a difference, you do have an impact and we are all inspired by you, we are all fortunate to have you.
Love life and life will love you back.
Mari.
